Classrooms

Every room in the school has wide lattices that allow natural diffused light to come in from both sides of the room. This is achieved by the innovative use of "light shelves" which act as both sunshades and also light reflectors sending natural light deep into the rooms. Concrete "grilles" provide an attractive screen for safety and protection as the children move along the well-ventilated corridors. Wall-to-wall windows on opposite sides of every classroom allow cross ventilation, helping to circulate copious amounts of air in the room and cool down the temperatures during summer. 

Many of the classrooms are equipped with a projector and screen to enhance student learning (Smart Classes). All classrooms have a high-speed internet connection so that the teachers can access the net and use interesting material in their lessons.

Maths Curriculum

The school, while following traditional methods of achieving computational fluency through skill and drill (especially at primary and middle grade level), also focusses on the modern conceptual of mathematics education with an emphasis on 'conceptual understanding' and 'problem-solving skills'.

To bring about this synthesis, a well-equipped Maths lab has been set up, conforming to the guidelines and recommendations of the ICSE. The primary objectives of the Maths are:

  • To help fear of mathematics (algebra and geometry) in pupils by making maths learning more meaningful and enjoyable
  • To make mathematics more pragmatic and life-oriented
  • To provide study and test-taking skills
  • To provide alternative instruction using a wide range of audio and video resources

English Language

A multi-functional English language lab is utilized for the development of English language acquisition and communication skills, especially listening comprehension and verbal fluency.
Students' use of the English language lab will

  • promote their functional use of the English language by developing fluency in thought and enhancing elaboration skills;
  • provide oral and aural practice, informative feedback and opportunities for self-critiquing;
  • pave the way for a smooth translation of academic understanding into meaningful communication;

Science Curriculum

The ICSE science syllabus. In addition, ICSE recognizes that pupils acquire factual knowledge from their texts and their programme of study, often without grasping the underlying scientific concepts, nor appreciating their relevance and meaning, since they lack a context. We give innovative ideas to afford students the opportunity to engage in hands-on, intellectually challenging activities, such as building pulleys and levers, electrical circuits and other devices.

The kit-based science curriculum, in combination with the school's modern science laboratories, is designed to

  • provide students with hands-on, 'minds-on' science projects
  • promote scientific literacy, essential for success in our modern society that is increasingly shaped by science and technology
  • spotlight the relationship between what students learn at school and what they experience in their everyday world
  • inspire students to pursue questions about their everyday experiences by cultivating their curiosity, critical thinking processes and problem-solving skills
  • equip students with a basic knowledge and understanding of science facts and principles so that they are able to describe, explain and predict natural phenomena.

Social Curriculum

A social activity is provided where the student is given a spatial appreciation of the world’s biography

The standard ICSE social syllabus is followed. However, the school recognizes that the pupils acquire factual knowledge in their programme of study which is generally learnt isolated from the contexts without understanding the underlying scientific concepts, their relevance and meaning. The school tries to resolve the situation by supplementing the dry content-based system with its own kit-based social curriculum by providing the students with the tools necessary to engage in activity-based, intellectually challenging the programmes. The adopted kit-based science curriculum combined with well-equipped science laboratories shall:

Computer Science

School recognizes that today's children are growing up in a digital world and that computer literacy is a vital component of education. Computer education is, therefore, an integral part of ICSE curriculum. A computer lab with the latest hardware, software and other appropriate resources facilitates in-depth learning.

Students are introduced to keyboarding in Class I and continue to practise it through to Class V. From Class III, students are introduced to and work with various software programs. Computer courses focus on word-processing skills, spreadsheets and databases, developing multimedia projects and using the Internet for research.

Within a structured programme, students are encouraged to use computers as tools for:

  • story writing
  • writing research reports
  • designing project outlines
  • conferencing with other students
  • e-mail communication

Students' access to the Internet is closely supervised.
